After playing with the intake in SolidWorks I can get another .100" clearance under the hood. That will be enough to make it "look" better... Before...  After a little re-machining I will do tomorrow...  Edit... Sorry for the crappy pics, I will fix them tomorrow as well |

Thanks guys. As far as what the engine is modeled after, I kinda kept it nondescript in order to mod it to look like whatever I feel like. With the amount of time it took to machine this thing I wanted to change it in the future without having to re-cut the block. Quote:

 But with a little more angle to keep the runners under the hood. On the exhaust, I am going to have to go with a cleaner looking version of this...  | ||

...you know, the more I look at the top end of this motor the more it looks out of place. I think it is time for a re-do. Bummer  |

For the headers it may be worth trying the method of freezing a soapy water inside the brass tubes and bending them. It is supposed to give the maderal bend look then. I think you are right on the top end though |

I'd hate to see you remake the whole intake.  But if you do, maybe just make it look like a carb? Then it could be a carb setup, propane, throttle body injection, etc. without any changes. Just a thought.  Last edited by Tommy R; 06-27-2011 at 01:07 PM. Reason: said "with" instead of "without" |

How much room (width and depth) do you you have for the fan motor? I assume its going in the water pump/timing cover?
